Provenance

I have too many friends who are archivists not to make sure we have an accurate provenance for this travelling pattern. In addition to recording who stitched it, I've added a link to the photo so you can see how this little needleworker has been changed from the original pattern.

Do you think it feels like it got gypped? Such a short hop from Ohio to Penna. But maybe someone in some far away place will be next...

As you know I am trying to finish up the birthday gifts. Although I am supposed to stitch the travelling pattern as soon as, and as quickly as, I can, I feel an obligation to put the birthday gifts in the mail asap. Thanks to all for their suggestions regarding what to do about the fob. I measured it so you can better understand my idea of "huge." The original piece is 1.5 x 2.5" The new one is 2.25 x 3.25". I think I will finish it as a fob and if the recipient wants to put it on big scissors or even little scissors she has a choice. I think I've narrowed it down to two more things to make for the package, and maybe a quick trip to Joanns, and maybe Reading Terminal Market, for some extra goodies (NOT a cheesesteak from Rick's, but don't mind if I do).

Mmm, cheesesteak! We had cheesesteak there!! Glad you've decided about the fob - definitely not too big. I was envisioning you trying to tie a throw pillow to a pair of scissors! I love that you've created a provenance for the travelling pattern - that's wonderful!!!
